Children's rights

Children's rights frameworks argue that children deserve recognition as full human beings with legitimate interests and voice, rather than as projects to be molded by adults—a shift that means listening to children's perspectives on their own lives and institutions. This challenges the assumption that children are inherently incompetent and need only protection, not also participation and autonomy.
